Well done to Knox and Waverley today in a great game of schoolboy footy.
Hats off to both teams for a great display of tough hard footy and great sportsmanship.
I believe man of the match was the Knox 7, even in a losing team, he has a big future in the game of rugby.
For Waverley, the most impressive thing from the team is the defense. They tackled on their line against Knox for 15 minutes and didn’t let them cross. They did the same against Barker and Cranbrook. They surely did a great job as a team to succeed as they have so far.
I know I have harped on about it, but to me it also highlights the issues with the CAS selection process, which then also impacts on gen blue selections.
Waverley had the fourth most selected kids but have now beaten the three teams with more selections ahead of them. Putting a mockery to the whole process. I have already highlighted some obvious errors so won’t highlight them again, and I don’t know how it is fixed for the future, but there must be some consideration to change the process in the future.
I think it also highlights a great rugby program at Waverley when Knox had 7 gen blue players and Waverley had 0. But Waverley were victorious.
To me that is a great point that could be discussed further.
